To those that have seen it already, how was the theater crowd? Do you think this one is going to be a crowded opening movie?
I never understood why some people think youre a loser if you go to a movie by yourself. Who gives a ^^^^? If no one else wants to watch it, why deprive yourself of what you want to do? It's not even like going to a movie is a social event anyway. You are sitting there and not socializing at all.

Shai speaks the truth. There is nothing wrong with seeing a movie alone. I actually prefer it sometimes now.
I never got the whole "lets go to a movie and make out" thing. If I wanted to kiss you I'd do it in the car or at my house or your house. I don't have to pay $20 for tickets alone just to kiss you in a public place. If I go to a movie I want to watch the movie, they can get mad if they want.
Yeah you tell em man!
i feel the same way. its not like you sit in there talking it up (well, i don't at least) during the movie. i guess people just get creeped out when they see a single guy going into a theater... especially after the Pewee Herman incident.I never understood why some people think youre a loser if you go to a movie by yourself.

I just got back from the early morning screening and man was this a great movie! Totally unexpected from what I was thinking of going into. I just recommend everyone go see it NOW!!!

Just do the old zipper down and through the bottom of the popcorn bag trick.
I just got back from a matinee of this. I did like it, but I wasn't blown away like I thought I would be based on the reviews and hype around it. I'd probably give it like a 7/10....above average...yeah. It had a little more cheez in it than I would have expected.
Having just returned minutes ago from the midnight showing for District 9, I thought I might share a few thoughts.
Somewhere over the years, between the spaceships and robots of cinema, we've forgotten what true science fiction is. Summer blockbusters all have their uses as a loud weekend diversion with bombastic effects and shoestring narratives, but this is not what true science fiction is about. Real sci-fi should be driven by humans, by emotions and thought, exploring the unknown and giving thought to matters that people don't typically consider on a daily basis.
District 9 is real science fiction.
Anyone who follows Blomkamp's work is aware of his directorial style. Intense narrative, often depicted in a raw, documentary-style of shooting. The look and feel of District 9 is therefore quite different from most other films. It draws you in, tosses you about (violently, in fact), and shoots you back out into the real world, leaving you to wonder what exactly you just experienced.
Never have I experienced anything quite like this film. This is an uncompromising vision of an unrelentingly realistic world. The high level of credibility strengthens everything in the film, from the cheer-inducing action sequences to the nauseating turn of events. It touches the heart in one moment, and makes it pound vigorously the next. It is richly laden with so much, it is not easy to describe, and certainly not something I would attempt to quantify with a tasteless rating scale. It is so brilliantly executed, it will leave you wanting more. Humor and love, tragedy and hate, tenderness and brutality. This film is not only an example of great science fiction, but of great cinema as a whole.
I'm not going to bother touching on specific aspects, or the obvious potential for the film to win numerous awards. Those don't matter. This is an amazing work, one that you will never forget.
Just watch it.
This is such an amazingly awesome movie, I loved it! It's good to see that there is still some originality in this world, Blomkamp did an excellent job with this. I really liked the fact that they didn't feel the need to hire a big name star or to overdo the special effects on this. The designs of the 'Prawns' and the their weaponry are bad ass as well, Christopher and his little guy are too F'N cool! Go see this, by yourself, in a group, doesn't matter! Just go see it to support a great movie and a truly original director!
